Is Unaliving Yourself Selfish? Or Are We Just Not Paying Attention?

This episode is not for clicks it’s for clarity, conviction, and compassion. In honor of Suicide Prevention Awareness Month, Izzy revisits one of the most intense and necessary conversations from Season 5 this time with a sharper lens, deeper vulnerability, and real-world commentary on what’s changed (and what hasn’t) since that original question was first posed: Is suicide selfish?
Izzy opens up about his own past thoughts of unaliving, the pain of losing a close friend in 2021, and the quiet desperation that lives inside so many young men today. We explore Kevin Hines' powerful survival story after jumping from the Golden Gate Bridge and why so many people are silently begging to be seen, not saved by a sermon or a hot take, but seen in their struggle.
Throughout the episode, Izzy also unpacks how rejection, isolation, and financial pressure weigh heavily on Black men, even when there’s no diagnosed mental illness. When therapy feels inaccessible or "not for us," some brothers turn to AI like ChatGPT for answers, or worse, they retreat in silence. There is also an intense conversation about suicide pods and the financial stress that leads men to "hitting licks". This episode challenges that.
With moments of honesty, comedy (because we need to breathe), and gut-punching truth, Izzy poses questions that demand soul-searching: Do we truly check in on the "strong" friends? Are we calling out for help without knowing it? Is our silence costing someone else their life? If you’ve ever wrestled with the thought, “Do I belong here?” — this episode is your reminder that you do. You’re not alone. And someone is still here, ready to answer the call.
